It is not required that a 2 person lift is carried out if the parcel is greater than 20kg, but it may be necessary dependant on whether the individual can safely manage it on their own or not.

General guidance for heavy/large items
- • Avoid lifting heavy or large items if it is not necessary e.g. scan a heavy parcel in the bottom of York and rather than lifting it out.
• Where possible, without damaging the parcels, large or heavy parcels should be slid, rolled or pivoted into place to avoid lifting the full weight.
• When handling heavy or large items, use a suitable handling aid like a sack truck wherever possible.
• Plan the route taking note of any issues e.g. steps.
• Ask for help if you doubt your capability to lift it safely
